So I'm getting a new gaming PC to replace my aging i7 920 which its on its last legs. Decided to give watercooling a try :) My PC names are from Star Wars Star Destroyers, very nerdy i know :p so my current system is called Executor, this one will be called Eclipse. It will be mostly used for flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator X as I am also building a home cockpit. Might give Skyrim a try too. I also have a triple Dell 24" setup which is really immersive!

Bloody fantastic looking build!! Definitely subbing up to this.

One question, your cable management on the back, how did you get all the cable to stick to the case? Did you have to buy additional brackets?

I put some sticky back cable holder in.
